- SendCards, by Maurice Sharp

-
- This little sample will beam up to 3 cards from the cardfile. It tricks the
- outbox into sending to the cardfile by changing the appSymbol slot of
- the fields frame in its setupRoutingSlip method.
-
- There are really 3 things you should get from this sample.
-
- 1. You can send data to any arbitrary application as long as you
- know the app symbol of that other app.
-
- WARNING: the other app will need to deal with the data in
- its PutAway script.
-
- 2. You can break a beam/etc. up into smaller pieces if you need to.
- This is useful if you thing your data will be too big to send
- in one chunk.
-
- 3. You can put any arbitrary slot into the fields
- frame and it will be sent across in the beam. That means you can
- use sequence numbers and other things to make sure your beams
- get accross (though you can not initiate a resend from the
- receiving Newton).
